I went five for five in the old phone game playoff. A little while later, I got a call from AP Taryn Brill who told me that I was going to New York. How could that have been seven years ago?

So why don't I hear the phone ringing?

Because you have bad phone service....or the ringer is turned off....

Yep, that's the same Taryn Brill. Apparently she now goes by Taryn Winter Brill and she's an anchor and morning show host on a Sacramento TV station. Here's a better photo:

There are many other photos and videos of Taryn on the internets.

I've probably mentioned this before, but when I was on the show I tried to strike up a conversation with her by mentioning that I was walking down Broadway that morning and happened to see that I was passing the famous Brill Building. I thought that might pique her interest, but she didn't know what I was talking about and had never heard of the Brill Building.

I get the impression that she would't have gone far in the HS herself, despite having a Master's degree.
